scorpion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Seems weird... I've not had that problem at all when playing below Cult. I don't consider it a problem (I'll explain later). decided to go ahead and run test shows in the default data with GSW and CZCW. Not sure what caps may be there for Regional promotions, but had same issue with GSW, issue gone with CZCW. Again, I actually think capping the popularity you can get as a small/local promotion is realistic and great for game play. My issue is that this came out of nowhere and wasn't properly explained. Adam does a great job hyping all the new features pre-release, why not have a thread explaining significant changes post-release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUINNC Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Something happen in my game where NWA-TNA didn't open on time (guessing both Jarrett's being employed elsewhere), so will it just open at a later date when they're both available or will I need to do some sort of work around to get it open?

vbase Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I see A shows and B shows held on the same night have the same audience while if held on different days, the B show has lesser audience than the A show. How about the ticket sales for when they are held on the same night? Do they pay for the A show only or for both the A and the B show?

Blackman Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you are booking a show like how WWE currently does it (25-30% of wrestling time) is it difficult to keep things interesting? Is there any C-Verse company that out of the box have such a low match - angle ratio for TV? Also would having a weak weekly main event that lasts 6-8 minutes a la WCW c. 98 hurt a National sized promotion? (under that 30% match ratio) It's easy in the game: just keep using your best mic/'tainment people in angles and you'll hit A-shows a lot. In reality, it's a lot tougher as the content must be interesting. In the C-verse, I don't think there are promotions like that. Short main events won't hurt you in promotions like this, but when you don't run much angles you could theoretically get in trouble given the match is often of B-level.

moafnsteel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you are booking a show like how WWE currently does it (25-30% of wrestling time) is it difficult to keep things interesting? Is there any C-Verse company that out of the box have such a low match - angle ratio for TV? Also would having a weak weekly main event that lasts 6-8 minutes a la WCW c. 98 hurt a National sized promotion? (under that 30% match ratio) I can't think of any promotions that have that low of a match ratio, but I know that RAW has I think 50% or something. There bio even talks about how they are more of a soap opera with wrestling as a side. As far as your main event being 6-8 minutes that will be capped in how high it will be rated and can have a big impact on your overall show. Your main event counts for a lot of your overall show grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwright86 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 What would happen to the alliance titles if the alliance ceased to exist and I was the founder? Can that happen? Would the titles become mine or go to the Investments section to be bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo C Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just to make sure; is the "on demand" viewership/sponsorship money correlated to your company's actual size or to the popularity? I'm Small, but I have some decent popularity scattered across the world for my size (15~30 depending on the region). Would it lower my viewership to change from late evening to on demand in my situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have not experienced it because you did this 3 in one month as a one off. If you kept doing 3 month after month you may have seen an issue. In addition once I switched back to one ppv a month I seem to recall it taking a while for my buy rates to climb back up to the expected level.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skinsfan55 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is my commentary dragging me down? I have Emily McQueen (75) on color and Peter Michaels (90) on play by play and every match I'm penalized for McQueen's color score. IIRC she's the 3rd best color person in North America. What's the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koholos Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>Is psychology improved by having people on the same team, or is it only good for opponents? Does it have the same liklihood of improving in multi-man matches as in 1 v 1? </p><p> </p><p> Additionally, which other skills can be improved by pairing people with higher-skilled opponents? Is it mainly left half of the middle line, and then some entertainment? </p><p> Power and stamina seem mostly tied to size (stamina improves with long matches?)</p><p> </p><p> 2/3 of my roster is under 30, so I'm basically trying to do some "selective breeding", in hopes that by the time they all hit 30, I'll have a solid roster who'll be in place for about a decade.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koholos Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Another question - if a wrestler is currently in the process of foreshadowing a turn, does the game count them as being a 'tweener', or would they still suffer from being booked against people of the same alignment?
